Our work often includes early intervention, Crown pre-trial negotiations, referrals to counselling or rehabilitation programs, and detailed sentencing submissions.
Not all drug charges need to end in trial or conviction. In many cases, a negotiated resolution offers the most practical and least damaging path forward. Depending on the nature of the offence—possession, trafficking, production, or importation—we explore every option available, including diversion, conditional discharges, or plea arrangements that avoid jail and a criminal record. The key is strategic engagement with the Crown at the right time, backed by a credible legal position and a client-focused plan for resolution.
Popular questions
What is a negotiated resolution in a drug case?
Can drug charges be dropped through negotiation?
In some cases, yes. If the evidence is weak or mitigating factors are strong, the Crown may agree to withdraw the charge or offer a non-criminal resolution.
What is diversion and am I eligible?
Will I have a criminal record after a negotiated plea?
Not necessarily. Some resolutions, like peace bonds or conditional discharges, avoid a conviction. Others may result in a record but with reduced consequences.
